    I had pre-ordered this game but thankfully canceled in time after learning that IW was shipping a shoddy console backport. It's not like the PC sales *alone* don't pay for the resources they would need to make the changes we're asking for... they just don't care. Here's to moving on to other great shooters. Personally, I'll just play more Left 4 Dead 1/2.

I'll lend my dollar and support to EA/DICE who have strangely pulled their collective heads out of their a** and LISTENED to their customers, delivering a great game with Battlefield Heroes. They even came out on the BFH front page saying they will always have dedicated servers. From what I hear, Battlefield Bad Company 2 will have them, and looks to steal the crown from the CoD franchise (which has been utter rubbish after CoD 1). In conclusion, pirate this game if you realllly want to download 11GB just for a short single player experience. Bobby Kotick can take this game and shove it up his a**, right next to his head.… Expand

    Infinity Ward have destroyed online PC gaming as we know it removing such a big key feature such as dedicated server support from a game which should be trying to build up a big competitive community. Me and my four friends all cancelled our pre-orders as soon as we heard the news we currently have no plans on purchasing this game in-till dedicated servers are added back into the game.

    Absolutely Horrid! People not only had to pay $60 for this, for zero reason, they also get cheated out of a community. This game shows nothing that a pc game should, no modding, no servers, ect. The games MP is even more unbalanced than the first, shotguns are essentially the god-gun of the game now. Truly the largest PC gaming disappointment of 2009.

    $60 and five hours of single player campaigning later, I'm left with a pretty useless game. Can you play Multiplayer on the PC? Of course! Is it any fun? No. Is it worth the hassle of terrible pings/server lag/small player caps/ Not having the freedom to join regular, customized servers that cater to specific players and actually make the game enjoably?

I dont like, i want to play people that are beter so i can get better. Cant choose what map i want to play, you can vote on it like in the 360 version. But what if i want to play on a server that stays on the same map or certain maps.. i cant! l guess the biggest issue is i cant casually get on the server i like and play the rules or mods i like... It really sucks cause i dont have time to play much and when i do i want to play certain maps, people, or mods. What if i want to play with certain people? I have to add them to my friends list... Okay, thats no problem but i still cant get on the one server i want to play on with the large group of people that are not clan members but there for the server. Look at it this was, dedicated servers are like bars/pubs. You know the people there, you know whos going to show up or type of people, you enjoy it and you dont have to organize a group before you go. You just go into the room but now you go into a random room with random people. Iw took a lot of control away from the pc world, its set up so the PC user has less controll over what server they choose and might have to pay for new maps later on. It just feels... generic. I bought PC for PC playing not PC playing like console. Whoever did this seems like they play more console. The single player story could have been a lot better. Its does not flow and has a jagged story that is hard to follow and gives you no reason why the events are happening. Seems like they had ideas/ enviroments and situations they wanted to show then built a story around that. If there was a writer he should be tard and featherd. I payed for a good story and multiplayer. Multiplayer would be great if concerns stated above were fixed, and story... atleast the game looks great.… Expand

Its amazing they bothered taking out the Xbox 360 logo on the splash screen, such is the utter laziness of this port - and it truly feels like a port. To be fair, the game is well optimized, runs great, looks the part, and while the sp lasts, is a real blast. But these positives cannot hide the fact it is short short short! 5 hours max to get thru the sp game. And then you are left with matchmaking, no console, 65 degree FoV, NO LEAN!, no dedicated servers, no chance of mods, a bunch of cheats (see youtube videos) which noone can kick, no serious potential for clan gaming, and soon no community. This game will die on its arse in a very short space of time imo. Considering I still, to this day play Cod 2 mp regularly, this is major fail, on an epic fail scale. GOTY? TOTY (Turkey Of The Year) more like. If your a console gamer, go ahead, you will have a blast and wont have any idea why the pain is so deep. If your a pc gamer, avoid like the plague, wait for BF:BC2 and play a real PC game, developed for PC gamers, by people who still care about the PC scene. IW have made it obvious they dont give a toss. Oh and you know those extra maps and such we've always had as product support? Its now called DLC, better get the wallet ready folks! Oh and dont get me started on the Retail installation which took me 2 hours to complete. Why, when I have a physical disc, I have to then download a bunch of files, and wait for a server to respond so I can play a SINGLE PLAYER GAME I have no idea. I also have no idea why I supported, with my hard earned cash, companies which (right now) are laughing their asses at me, and YOU Mr PC Gamer.

Which no support for Dedicated Servers what-so-ever, you are doomed to forever play with high pings and unlikable people because you have absolutely no control over who gets to play on the same "server" as you. Furthermore, if the host of the match leaves, the game needs to find a new host, which happens ALL THE TIME. It is frustrating, and makes you want to punch the employees of Infinity Ward in the face. Especially Bowling. The only reason I gave this game a 1 and not a 0 is because a few of the Spec Ops Missions are great fun. Other than that, this game is complete and utter garbage and a waste of money. I suggest to skip this title and wait for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

You cannot play online with under 100 latency. Most everyone hovers 100-300 ping (well you can't really tell because it's just 4 bars).

The compy version is now exacly like the consul version which just gets obnixious since the whole reason I got it for the computer was for the larger game sizes (i.e. 32 people hardcore team deathmatch, now that was fun.) and useing WADS. They also dropped the lean controls which isnt that big of a deal but it just gets annoying everytime you want to take cover that you cant lean out of it. The one thing I do give it credit for is a solid perk and custom class system which is extreamely differnet than the original but in my oppinion better. The only issue is the complete uneveness of weapons now the game is geared twords assualt rifles unlike before where there was a more even spread of weapons to choose from (basicly the total like of a internal box sniper rifle just gets me agitated).… Expand

    If you like Michael Bay films you'll probably like MW2. If you're an adult you'll probably think MW2 is a dire excuse for a sequel with poor direction, linear single player and an absoloutely shocking lack of thought put into the multiplayer aspect. This isn't worth the retail price and should have been released as an expansion / DLC for the first game.

    The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 is identical to the console versions in almost every way, and that's actually the problem. PC gamers have a certain expectation for online shooters. Removing dedicated server and user mod support from a game that's already $10 more than its predecessor seriously hinders the long term appeal for me.

    It looks better, it plays better, the story is more intense and the multiplayer is more inviting. And with the inclusion of SpecOps, the longevity of this game is sure to have increased as well.
